Robot magazine Editor-in-Chief Tom Atwood had the
privilege of presenting at the Carnegie Mellon University Robotics Educators Conference on the current
status of the robotics industry in the U.S., and the challenges we face to grow
these markets, which include technologies ranging from hobby to industrial
robots.
Robotics initiatives in education are the solution for
our country--this will help us preserve our leadership in
technology. Robots motivate students and hobbyists, and they invoke the allure
and wonder of science fiction.
